    @Kaiser-Machead: For the Japanese, though, that's just part of their work code. Only they can pull something like that off.

    Then again, they could've required all Tokyo subway workers - male or female - to wear item number 4 if it had existed in 1995. #bestandworstinventionsof2009

    @Gann: I can only assume it's because upper management don't have to do this kind of shit (anymore) and don't stop to think that maybe people respond better to quality professional service and courtesy than they do to big stupid grins. #bestandworstinventionsof2009
